  2. This is the person who brought CMOS image sensors to Toulouse. And then started the Oslo branch office of Photobit, later Photobit Technology, later Micron, and then the story as told above. A trailblazer!

  3. I'm guessing he'll take many of his old colleagues with him.
    When Aptina shuttered this design center (due to high labor costs), they kept Johannes and one FAE. When OVT offered a job to everyone else, Johannes and the FAE decided to stay with their team and quit Aptina!
